In the next few months, JEA will be in your neighborhood upgrading and replacing the main electric feeder line that serves your area. 

When completed, this work will increase the amperage capacity of the existing power line in your area, thereby reducing chances of overloading the circuit which can sometimes lead to unplanned power outages. In addition, 

JEA will also be replacing any old or deteriorated power poles along the project route as well as installing new brackets for insulators, fuses, and transformers which will also provide for better power quality and reliability. JEA will not be doing any work at the individual electric meter that serves your home.

Residents will first notice locate paint marks and flags on the ground throughout the project area. These locates assist our crews in locating the existing underground utilities prior to the start of any work. Residents can expect anywhere between 3‐8 large utility trucks in the area depending on the planned work activity. 

Power poles will be temporarily dropped off or staged in the public right of way portion of your yard until they can be installed. Several poles will be moved back at least 4‐feet from the curb, road, or sidewalk to conform to current JEA standards for road clearances.

Once the poles have been placed in the ground, crews will then install the equipment on the poles followed by pulling the new electric wires between the new poles. JEA will leave the old power poles in place until AT&T and Comcast change their facilities over to the new poles. Once this work occurs, JEA will return to remove the old poles. 

JEA may require some detours and lane closures while this work is completed. Any roads, curb, grass, driveway, sidewalk, or sod unintentionally damaged during construction will be replaced at the end of the project.
